Hi all,
I started my preparation a month ago. But Im going nowhere. Went thru BS Dvd and lecture notes once. finished Gross Anat. didnt comlete. still got neuro science and histology. switched to physio. its much more worse. its been 5 days since i started physio but completed only 4 sections. i know where i went wrong. im just browsing thru the forum. reading all posts. even hrs together im lost in the forum. i wonder wht to do. finally i found a solution. y not post whtevr i cover each day to see my progress. hey guys pls motivate me. i have given many futile exams. cleared PLAB and MRCS 1. but didnt work as my husband moved here. been a good for nothing house wife for past 4yrs. anyway past is past. im determined not to get depressed now. lemme conc on mle. pls guys gimme a push.

Hey there....I can relate to how you feel on some level. The motivation is sort of gone....but I think the trick is to keep at it...force yourself to do just a little everyday in order to build up your stamina. It's like exercise....we can't expect ourselves to run a mile in 8 min the first day we run. But with each progressive day it gets easier. The best I could say now is start with something you like, something you enjoy studying...that way it'll push you into doing the things that are not so fun to learn eventually. The videos are good, but the physio guy in the Kaplan videos can be annoying, although his way of doing the acid base things were pretty cool! 
Good luck to you and maybe we can help each other during this difficult time. When do you want to take the exam?

hi mle123 , i was goin through the same thing , feelin a useless housewife , it was one of my worse fears when i got married and came to the US , and then i failed the first time i wrote the exam , but monamoon is right it takes time and persistance , i have been studin for the last 3 months may be a lil more then that but its now that i have started feelin a lil better as may be i can do this , not so hopeless after all , wat worked for me was doin physio K lecture dvd with the K (kaplan) notes and listenin to goljan audio , eg. doin pulmonary path n physio at the same time.
i know i still need to revise every thing at least 3-4 times more ......... u will have to keep on tryin n readin till u feel comfertable .
good luck

Hello,
Before I started to study I was just wandering in the forums , I felt really bad on the end of the day, that I waisted it ! You need to make a schedule and stick to it . Every day a litle more and next day a few more pages again , till you will develope a routine .
Good luck !

new wife...well not anymore...anniversary coming this jan
but coz of wedding preparation n all as well as movin here 2 da states in june my husband n' i haven't gotten much done
now we're workin just to make the bills
i too started kickin around with pharma, anatom etc n' realized the basic is physio. and since i keep restarting brs physio over n' over im skippin the first few chapters n' startin w/ cardio...i finished half ch over 2 days (thatz real slow isn't it?)
i'm startin to email my parents about my progress which is i guess like keepin a diary...helps focus where u goin, what u got done...
